Morphing Low-Affinity Ligands into High-Avidity Nanoparticles by Thermally Triggered Self-Assembly of a Genetically Encoded Polymer

Simnick, Andrew J.; Chilkoti, Ashutosh (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2010)

Multivalency is the increase in avidity resulting from the simultaneous interaction of multiple ligands with multiple receptors. This phenomenon, seen in antibody antigen and virus cell membrane interactions, is useful in ...
Quantum dot-based theranostics

Ho, Yi-Ping; Leong, Kam (ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2010)

Luminescent semiconductor nanocrystals, also known as quantum dots (QDs), have advanced the fields of molecular diagnostics and nanotherapeutics. Much of the initial progress for QDs in biology and medicine has focused on ...
